Yepper… he really affected the investigation…
Or not…
Prosecutors did not reveal any evidence in charging documents that show Mr. Clinesmith’s actions were part of any broader conspiracy to undermine Mr. Trump. And the Justice Department’s independent inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, has found that law enforcement officials had sufficient reason to open the Russia investigation, known inside the F.B.I. as Crossfire Hurricane, and found no evidence that they acted with political bias.
Or it can light a candle and brighten the darkest corner.
But instead… it lit a barn on fire. It created a lie that spread like wildfire and was used by damn liars that tried to subvert our constitution. It was used by people who should be tried and hung… and maybe will be yet.
